Really sorry to bother, but I was hoping to discuss some very old business via private message with any old members of Monsters or New Monsters that might still be around. I don't know how to go about figuring out who to message, so... message me maybe?

Your friend and fellow Monster,

For each turn spent, you can claim about 13 acres of land.
You currently have 10,854 acres (44 acres unbuilt).

At 10,855 acres, it had dropped to 12 acres of land.

The chart inaccurately lists 10,854 as the beginning of 12 acres

Transparency solves everything. Transparency highlights the good work that most mods do, informs everyone of the logic behind the more questionable decisions, and ultimately keeps confidence high in the admin teams ability to control their game.

I firmly believe that not being transparent enough is exactly why this same fluff keeps bubbling back up to the surface again and again and again.

This vitriol directed at Prime seems eerily similar to 2014 and the issues many had with ICCYH.

At the time, I offered solutions that would have avoided this reemergence, but nobody cared then and are unlikely to now.

All I am asking for is for the mods to enforce a rule that they themselves put in place in the community they oversee here.

Why is that so wrong?

Do you want to grow this game or are you content with it limping along in its present state?

It may never lose enough support to actually die, but as long as there is no respect, it will NEVER thrive

There are a lot of reasons to leave it in place as is, just as there are a myriad of reasons to change it. However, the fact that there will always be a system that some enterprising players will be able to game is not, in an of itself, an acceptable defense of this or any system. It is a scare tactic that hinders the identification (and later, the acceptance) of logical, well-reasoned, and appropriate changes.

Additionally, this thread seems to assume that it is possible to truly make bots indistinguishable from other players.

Other than needing to add NW to land (as in, both show different values even though I only highlighted land specifically), Marshal is correct.

In rd #434 of express, I finished with the following stats:

11 Wild Hair (#97) Game profile 15,141 $19,696,656 HG

Today, when the land total for the server updated, it increased as expected by 15,141 acres - from 113,343 to 128,484

However, my profile shows my country's final stats as being this:

434 11 Wild Hair (#97) 15,161 $19,697,556 HG

As the set ended, I received the message for 20 Bonus Acres. These 20 acres are being reflected in my profile but not in the leaderboards or the final official scores. My profile should not be different from the official game statistics.

Can we please find a way to get all features located in only one spot?

Some examples include the sites to which we upload ops and the generation of a new API key. The way (redundancies) and location (in game as opposed to the global options menu) to accomplish these is highly non-intuitive.

I wouldn't have to cry so much to the mods if you acted like a damn human and showed even an ounce of respect. You, Braden, are example #1 of the type of behavior that forces people away from this game. The only people willing to put up with your fluff are those who act exactly as you do, which is why these forums and this game is so damn toxic.
